In Path of Exile, when choosing a character, you should determine two main factors: How are you going to deal damage? and how will you survive monster attacks? There are several main types of characters in Path of Exile, and to to put it simply, we can divide them into:

1. Melee fighters
They use melee weapons, with either high physical or elemental damage. Even though their name, they may still be fairly powerful ranged fighters (yes, that’s possible in Path of Exile) and depending on skill and weapon amplify the damage.

2. Ranged fighters
They use bows and ranged attacks. As a ranged fighter you will be looking for the same attributes and melee fighters, with the exception of “increased Melee damage”. Most ranged fighters use high physical damage weapons and use elemental damage conversion to increase their dps (more information on damage conversion can be found at the end of this section).

4. Summoners
They are types of characters that rely on Minions to deal the damage. This types of characters usually have to kite attacks and cast supportive spells that ampliy their minion damage. This is achieved through numerous Auras, Curses and Offerings. Keeping an eye on poe currency purchase can make things easier.

5. Totem builds
They are specific types of builds that rely on Totems as their main damage source. They can cast spells or perform attacks of any of the previously mentioned types (including summoning minions). This types of build will benefit from all the damage aplification sources as their corresponding damage type.

6. Traps & Mines builds
This are very specific and niche types of build. Traps can be laid down anywhere on the screen (they are basically thrown by the player’s character) but take a moment to be armed. After a Trap is armed, it can be triggered by monsters. On the other hand Mines can be only planted under the caster’s character, but can be detonated instantly, and even remotely. If using the Trap Support or Remote Mines Support gems, basically any spell can be cast by either of those. This is similar in a way to Totem builds – spells and abilities cast by Traps and Mines will benefit from the corresponding support gems.

As in every game in the market, there is currency in Path of Exile. For other games it’s mostly gold, but in Path of Exile currency is much more complex than that. Game has interesting system – currency in it is also used for crafting, that means it will never become obsolete as it often happens with gold in other games.

Rare is perhaps the gear tier that most players rely on. It’s not as difficult to obtain as Unique items, and they have much better stats than Magic items. Still, they’re not perfect. Then again, in a dungeon crawler where gear drops and their stats are at random, nothing is. Thankfully, there are ways to make a less-than-ideal piece of rare equipment better, which are Chaos Orbs and Exalted Orbs. All right, let’s cut to the chase and get down with this Path of Exile Currency Guide.

1) Going for Rare Items
What sets Rare items apart from Magic ones, apart from the better base stats, is the number of affixes it can have. Unlike the latter, Rare items can have up to six affixes: three prefixes and three suffixes.

However, Rare gear doesn’t naturally come with six modifiers. Instead, gears that get an upgrade to Rare with the Regal Orb, which turns a Magic item to Rare, will have two to three modifiers. On the other hand, a Rare item gained with the Orb of Chance that upgrades a Normal item to random rarity, including Rare, and Orb of Alchemy, which enhances Normal gear to a Rare one, both have four modifiers.

2) Chaos Orb: Effect and Purpose
Rare gear can then fill up the six modifiers with Exalted Orbs, which add a random affix to Rare items. Meanwhile, Chaos Orbs reroll a Rare item’s modifiers. These two orbs, when used wisely, can make a Rare item significantly better.

There is the Chaos Orb that’s useful for a Rare item you’d find helpful but has undesirable modifiers. You can change the affixes until they become suited for your build. Yes, over and over again since the result will be random. Aside from randomizing the affixes, the number of affixes is also randomized, so it’s not recommended to use Chaos Orbs after using an Exalted Orb unless you want to reroll on purpose.

3) Using Your Exalted Orbs Right
Meanwhile, you should use Exalted Orbs on your Rare item that has less than six affixes. You can use it directly, but the affix your gear will receive is at random, so hopefully, it adds a modifier that’s helpful to your build. If not, then you’ll have to deal with it, otherwise, if you don’t mind playing another game of chance, reroll with a Chaos Orb.

Now, if you’re not the type to take chances, you can choose to use your Exalted Orbs in Mastercrafting. This means having one of the forsaken masters put a signature modifier on an item. It’s a special kind of modifier called a meta-crafting modifier, which affects how modifiers behave. A Rare item Mastercrafted by Elreon can have the meta-crafting modifier allowing it to have more than one crafted mod for the price of two Exalted Orbs.

In Path of Exiile, Incinerate is a fire spell, that launches a torrent of fire from a character’s hand. The longer character repeatedly casts the spell from the same location, the larger and more damaging the flames become. Recently, GGG have given Incinerate a complete overhaul:

1. Replacing projectiles with a repeating damage cone.

The old projectile setup of Incinerate couldn’t compete with the kind of area of effect players expect from other skills without creating enough projectiles to seriously impact performance. Because of this, we decided to scrap that version and create something much more in-line with what a skill needs to be for both leveling and end-game encounters.

2. While channelled, the front of the cone gets longer, and the sides of the cone get wider, creating a curved T shape of damage.

This happens quite quickly, so you can reach full area of effect before the skill’s damage is fully charged. Much like the old Incinerate, it builds up in damage while channelling. We wanted the area spread to reach a powerful level quite rapidly, with a damage shape that gives players control over where they aim without completely filling an area.

3. Dealing six times the damage of the channeled cone.

When you release, it unleashes a single powerful wave of damage that has the combined length and width of the channelled effects, dealing six times the damage of the channeled cone. This always ignites and deals significantly modified Ignite damage.

This is a very powerful final burst that should be timed and positioned for the greatest effect. You can choose to build around burning damage to create a very potent Ignite effect, or pulse it more frequently to keep lots of enemies burning to get the most from the Immolate Support’s damage against burning enemies.

Finally, good luck to you, we will update the news about Path of Exile in real time, if you don’t want to be left behind in the game just because of lack of orbs, please buy poe currency cheap on U4GM.

Been looking for a new time sink as of late. Considered going back to Diablo 3 but decided against it, now considering getting POE. I’m aware it’s free but i’d rather not waste my time if I don’t have to. Just wondering what the current state of the game is, I’d be mainly solo but occasional multiplayer if that helps. The in-game currency is available at the professional online gaming house. The interested gamers can buy poe exalted orbs from those professional online gaming houses in the most affordable cost.

1) Don’t listen to ppl saying now is not the best time to start etc. Now is almost a perfect time to start for a newbie. Spend a week learning mechanics, try every active skill, maybe beat the story, bookmark poewiki, play around with search options on PoE.trade. Then if you like the game, Next week there is a fun Race starting and you can actually experience fresh PoE start.

PoE is can be very overwhelming, I’d recommend going to official forums check the popular build guides, preferably with videos, and if it’s something that you like, try your best to copy it and while doing so, try to understand – why this item is suggested and not the other, why this keystone on the tree, why this support gem and so on. I think its one of the better ways to learn PoE.

2) I have ~3000 hours on d3, got bored this season cause of no new changes. Started Poe a week ago, still don’t understand even half of everything but it’s so much more fun than current d3 because it’s actually about gear and not getting paragons + the skillgap is much bigger than in d3 imho.

3) With approaching 1700 hours in this game, it’s fantastic if you love going through the items and skills while trying to think of deadly combinations. The endgame is pretty dope compared to d3, where instead of just running harder and harder versions of the same areas, there is a whole progression system and focus on running maps that you enjoy with mods you like.
